HttpAsynchResp Struct Reference

Detailed Description

Send data asynchronously to a client.

Please see the HTTP protocol stack for an introduction to the HttpAsynchResp class.

You must lock the dispatcher prior to calling any methods in the HttpAsynchResp class unless the object is used from within a Barracuda event callback or you have called method HttpAsynchResp::asynchThreadMode. See using multiple threads in the Barracuda introduction for more information on protecting the Barracuda code.

There is one exception to the above. You can call method HttpAsynchResp::getMutex without locking the dispatcher first. You cannot lock the dispatcher unless you first have a reference to the dispatcher object.

example code

while(sendData)
{
ThreadLock(myAsynchResp->getMutex());
myAsynchResp->getWriter()->printf("Hi client");
}
int sendData(const void *data, int pktSize, int chunkSize)
Send data of known size to client.
Definition: HttpAsynchResp.h:308
This class provides an easy and less error prone way of locking and releasing a mutex.
Definition: ThreadLib.h:116

Certain restrictions apply to how you can use this object. This is, after all, a lightweight version of HttpResponse. The HttpAsynchResp object does not have large buffers for storing out data. Thus, the methods must be called in the following order:

Calling methods setConClose, setStatus, and setHeader are optional.

Calling method setHeader implicitly calls method setStatus with status code 200 unless you already called setStatus.

Sending data using method sendData or the methods in BufPrint flushes the HTTP header. Thus, you cannot call method setHeader after the HTTP header is flushed.

You must use one of BufPrint or ( HttpAsynchResp::sendData [ & HttpAsynchResp::sendNextChunk ] ) when sending response data.

bool isValid ()
 Returns true if the HttpConnection object is valid – i.e., if the socket connection is alive.
 
void asynchThreadMode ()

 ~HttpAsynchResp ()
 Calls method close.
 
void close ()
 Flushes the response, if any, and checks the connection object: A valid and persistent HTTP 1.1 socket connection object is moved back into the Web-server's HTTP 1.1 HttpConnection pool such that the connection can be recycled. More...
 
ThreadMutexgetMutex ()
 Get the dispatcher lock. More...
 
int setConClose ()
 Close connection when the HttpAsynchResp object is done. More...
 
int setLingeringClose ()

int setStatus (int statusCode, const char *protocol=0)
 Set the response status code. More...
 
int setHeader (const char *name, const char *value)
 Sets a HTTP response header with the given name and value. More...
 
int sendData (const void *data, int pktSize, int chunkSize)
 Send data of known size to client. More...
 
int sendNextChunk (const void *data, int chunkSize)
 Send next chunk if not all data was sent with sendData. More...
 
BufPrintgetWriter ()
 BufPrint is used when sending data of unknown length. More...
